Azure Luan Emerged, Its Cry Shook the Nine Heavens

Heaven Dou Empire's imperial capital, Heaven Dou City.

Wu Qi stopped in front of the Martial Soul Hall.

As a disregarded descendant of the Wu Family in Heaven Dou City, with both parents dead, Wu Qi received no favor whatsoever within the family.

At his age, he should have awakened his Martial Soul a month ago, yet even now, no one in the family had helped him.

As a transmigrator, he had read quite a few novels about transmigrating to Douluo Continent in his previous life.

He understood one truth well: the earlier one awakened their Martial Soul, the sooner they could begin cultivating, which would be immensely beneficial to their future growth.

With no one in the family paying him any attention, was it not wishful thinking to expect an elder to help awaken his Martial Soul?

Left with no choice, he could only come to the Martial Soul Hall alone.

"If I can awaken a decent Martial Soul today, I will rely on myself from now on!"

Clenching his fists, he rose and stepped into the grounds of the Martial Soul Hall.

Ordinarily, not just anyone could enter the Martial Soul Hall. However, seeing that he was a child, the guards did not stop him. Instead, one patiently stepped forward to advise him.

"Little one, where are your parents? If you got lost, do you know where your home is? Uncle can take you back."

At present, Bibi Dong held limited power within Spirit Hall, and its entire organization had not yet been corrupted by her influence.

Spirit Hall's deep impression on the common people had not come without reason.

Aside from helping commoners awaken their Martial Souls for free, Spirit Hall also took on many social responsibilities.

Unfortunately, under Bibi Dong's leadership later on, everything changed for the worse.

Wu Qi was only a child now, so naturally he would not rashly claim that he could change Spirit Hall.

Today, his most important task was to awaken his Martial Soul.

"Uncle, I came to awaken my Martial Soul. Could you let me in?"

Wu Qi blinked innocently.

The guard was first taken aback, then asked, "Didn't any adult from your family come with you?"

Wu Qi shook his head. "There's no one left in my family. I could only come by myself."

To him, the Wu Family of Heaven Dou City was not a home at all, but a cage.

While no one in the family was paying attention to him, it was best to leave as soon as possible.

After awakening his Martial Soul, even if it was not particularly powerful, he could use the certificate issued by Spirit Hall to enroll in a Primary Soul Master Academy. Supporting himself would not be a problem.

Seeing his ragged clothes, the guard did not think he was lying. He said sympathetically, "What a pitiful child. Go on in. Explain why you're here, and someone will help you awaken your Martial Soul."

After thanking him, Wu Qi stepped into the hall.

This hall was the highest-ranking branch beneath the Pope Hall. There were not many Staff Members inside, but each was busy with their own work.

After he explained his purpose, a warm-hearted middle-aged woman brought him into the awakening chamber.

The woman arranged the awakening stones into a special Formation, and Wu Qi stood within it.

At that moment, a voice came from outside the door. "Wang Fang, what are you doing?"

The newcomer was none other than Salas, the hall's Bishop.

"Bishop, this child has no family, and he is already six years old. I'm helping him awaken his Martial Soul."

"Oh?" Salas grew interested and looked Wu Qi up and down.

There were many great families and Nobles in Heaven Dou City, and the children of those families awakened their Martial Souls on their own.

Those who came to the hall to awaken their Martial Souls were few and far between.

For some reason, Salas became interested in this rare visitor, Wu Qi, and simply stayed to watch the awakening process.

"Child, close your eyes and focus. Try to communicate with your Martial Soul in your consciousness."

Wang Fang spoke gently, explaining with great patience.

Wu Qi slowly closed his eyes. Within his consciousness, a mass of gentle azure light shone without end.

Suddenly, a melodious cry rang out from within his body, followed closely by the appearance of an azure figure.

"Wen Yao touched the night, its wings resembling Azure Luan. This is a top-tier Martial Soul."

As a Platinum Bishop, Salas was naturally highly knowledgeable.

He had once served in the Pope Hall and had been fortunate enough to witness Azure Phoenix Douluo in action.

That stunning bearing had remained unforgettable to him for a long time. Yet now, on a child, he saw traces of Qing Luan Worship's divine charm.

Could this child be Qing Luan Worship's illegitimate son, stranded somewhere on the continent?

Salas's expression shifted unpredictably, while Wang Fang was stunned by the sight.

My Martial Soul is actually Azure Luan. Wu Qi sighed inwardly.

It was actually easy to understand. The Wu Family was an imperial noble family, and one of their ancestors had once married an imperial Princess.

The Royal Family's Swan Martial Soul, combined with the Wu Family's White Crane Martial Soul, indeed had a chance of mutating into the Qing Luan Martial Soul.

After a pause, he reminded them, "Bishop, Sister Wang, shouldn't you test my Soul Power first?"

"Right, right, right."

Wang Fang hurriedly took a Soul Power crystal ball from her Soul Tool and placed it in Wu Qi's hands.

The instant his palm touched the crystal ball, dazzling, brilliant light filled the awakening chamber.

Salas did not seem surprised. "The birth of a top-tier Martial Soul is often accompanied by extremely high Innate Soul Power."

The awakening chamber door had not been closed, and the sight quickly drew the attention of the Staff Members in the hall.

"With such radiance, his Innate Soul Power can't be lower than rank nine, can it?"

"What ignorance. This is Innate Full Soul Power!"

"I heard that child is an orphan too. Wang Fang has really found herself a treasure this time."

Some were envious, while others were vexed.

The Martial Soul Hall would certainly not be peaceful today.

Salas lightly cleared his throat. "Child, are you willing to join Spirit Hall?"

"Can I?" Wu Qi asked in return.

A family like the Wu Family was not worth his loyalty.

Moreover, he had long since made up his mind to leave the family and support himself.

Joining Spirit Hall might be a decent destination.

Because of his Martial Soul, he was confident that Bibi Dong would not take him under her wing.

After recovering from her shock, Wang Fang hurriedly said, "Bishop, shouldn't we report this to His Holiness the Pope immediately?"

A genius with Innate Full Soul Power was rare in the world. This was a matter of great importance and had to be reported.

Spirit Hall had different training methods for geniuses with different levels of Innate Soul Power. Wu Qi's talent was enough to merit the highest level of training.

However, Salas began entertaining his own little scheme.

If he handed Wu Qi over to Pope Bibi Dong, he would certainly receive a reward.

But Bibi Dong was not a generous person, and he would not be satisfied with the benefits he received.

If he handed the child to Azure Phoenix Douluo instead, things would be different.

Although the Worship Hall did not participate in Spirit Hall's affairs, its influence was extraordinary. By doing Azure Phoenix Douluo this favor, he could gain even more in the future.

Besides, he would also receive a reward for discovering talent for Spirit Hall. Why could he not take two rewards?

"Wang Fang, find him a place to live in the city. Stay by his side for the next few days. I will report this first. As for where he will be sent, that will depend entirely on the arrangements from above."

Such an arrangement was perfectly reasonable, so Wang Fang naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Bishop, my family has an empty residence. How about we arrange for Little Brother to stay there first?"

Salas did not care about such Details. He only wanted results.

"By the way, what is your name?" Salas bent down, his attitude kind.

Wu Qi bowed, remaining calm and composed. "In reply to the Bishop, my name is Wu Qi. Qi as in Xiong Qi."

Afterward, Salas issued a gag order to ensure that today's events would not spread everywhere.

After leaving the hall, Wang Fang brought him to a residence in the southern part of the city.

Along the way, Wang Fang smiled and said, "Little Brother, you don't have a home, right? How about I give you this residence?"

Giving him a residence was naturally meant to befriend this future powerhouse.

According to Spirit Hall's training plan, Wu Qi's future rise to greatness would not be a problem.

Adding flowers to brocade was easy; offering charcoal in snowy weather was difficult.

Giving him a residence now would give Wu Qi a place to belong. That was an enormous favor.

"Thank you, Sister Wang. However, we still have to follow the Bishop's arrangements."

Wu Qi did not accept it, instead tossing the matter back to Salas.
